Combine live performances to create unforgettable events

Event attendees should have a chance to unwind after a day (or more) of seminars, conferences, and trade shows. Give them a chance to let their hair down, loosen their ties, and cheer with an unforgettable live performance. Live entertainment will help make your event more vivid in attendees’ memories. Keep their inspiration flowing as you put on an unforgettable live show. In this article, we’ll show you how to make your event a great experience with live entertainment.

Remember your audience is the star of the show

Perhaps the most important tip for using live entertainment in event planning is to remember that it’s all about the attendees. Choose a live show your attendees will love. Know your people and their demographics. Their preferences will always determine whether you invite comedians, face painters or casino croupiers to your event.

Choose a location that matches your mission

If you are incorporating live entertainment into your event, you will need a venue with special features. Consider stage capabilities, sound design and lighting.

For example, the acoustic quality of a venue has a huge impact on the sound quality of live entertainment. Your A/V system can’t always make up for poor building acoustics. So make sure you choose your New York City venue wisely.

Also, consider what the audience will do during the live performance. Leave enough space for a dance table or dining table. And make sure there’s enough space for your attendees to enjoy the live show without feeling crowded.

Create the perfect tone with state-of-the-art A/V equipment

A/V equipment includes everything from microphones to projectors to VR headsets. At its core, A/V equipment is technology that coordinates sound, illuminates visual elements, and engages guests.

Event technology companies in New York City can transform your event into an experiential production. 3D projection mapping, LED displays and sound mixers can be blended together to complement your event’s live performance. Take the time to design A/V solutions that enhance live entertainment and bring the wow factor to live performances.

interactive

Make your event entertainment an interactive experience that engages your audience in the show. Take a page out of your teacher’s book and make your event memorable with interactive entertainment. Educators use movement and engage the senses in the classroom because Enhance concentration and memory.

Book live entertainment that will captivate your audience. The audience will be energized by dancing, clapping, and singing along with the performance. Or book a performer to walk off stage and mingle with guests, like a magician performing a trick on a crowd.

Tie it into your event theme

You already know that your event theme is important because it creates a cohesive brand moment for your customers. But your event’s theme is also an important glue that ties your event to your attendees’ memories. Simply put, your theme connects the elements of your event into an event that is larger than life and unforgettable. Therefore, make sure your live performance is relevant to the event theme.

Make it immersive

Transport your audience to another place with immersive live performances. The immersive experience blurs the space between audience and performance, creating an intimate and unforgettable connection.

The most obvious way to create an immersive experience is to use thunderous sounds and stunning lighting during the show. But consider other out-of-the-box ideas to engage your audience.

For example, the confetti dropped in Times Square during New Year’s Eve contains thousands of wishes for the coming year collected on the New Year’s Wishing Wall. With over a hundred thousand wishes raining down on you, this is the definition of immersion.
